Neal Barnard, M.D. - Power Foods for the Brain

UNE Center for Global Humanities and its founding director, Anouar Majid, host Neal Barnard, M.D. on "Power Foods for the Brain." This event was recorded on October 14, 2013.

[@psiclops521]

Dr Wareham, sadly, passed last December at the age of 104. I thought he might live forever. He remains an inspiration.

[@michaelsaafi7963]

Neal Barnard.. probably one of the most brilliant speeches i've heard in a long time.

[@Olgath]

I'd like to point out that Neal Barnard is 60 years old and looks about 40. Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. are both almost 80 years old and look about 60. Anybody criticizing their diets should think about these facts.

[@bmoher2011]

Olgath No, they all look old for their age.

[@MrAscension_]

What he looks 30 he's 60 huuuh

[@petmomful2260]

+Olgath Neal B. is 60? Are you sure? He looks much younger than that. Holy shit, I looked it up. He was born in 1953!

[@MindTurd]

yeah, he looks at least 55 in this video

[@sushmitaroy1667]

Brian Moher No way! Get out. As if Neal looks older than 60. Please. Unless your eyes are wrecked. Most 60 year olds are fat and on meds to stay as the walking dead.

[@144Donn]

Dr. Barnard is one of the brightest shining stars of the health movement. His presentation style and affect are wonderful. Regarding Soy (the last question asked) I had very negative allergic reactions to Soy Milk, burgers (Isolated Soy protein) and this went undetected for 10 years. Today, I stay as far away from Soy as possible.

[@144Donn]

the soy milk was organic..It is the ISP's but I also stay away from Soy lecithin

[@mrking695]

Aww, I feel you with the food allergies. I am allergic to a lot of foods that went undetected for decades. Luckily soy is not one of them but I don't use any processed soy or anything processed for that matter. I make my own plant milks.

[@Variia]

I went vegan a few months ago and the more i watch videos like this, the more convinced i am of making the right choice. I literally started to well up when you were summing up, this is what our world needs.

[@travelgirlable]

This is to date, the most approachable argument for a whole food, plant based diet that I have seen presented. Thank you Neal Barnard for your calm, confident, well supported information with excellent questions presented (and answered) at the end. Everyone should see this video.

[@PaDutchRunner]

Ninja, please detail for us what you believe to be BS and why. If you can't or you're not willing, you're just a troll.

[@fedev80]

Brilliant lecture!!!!!!! I went on a whole food plant based diet 6 month ago. In the first 5 months I lost 22 kgs (48 pounds), my blood tests are perfect (I had high triglycerides, high cholesterol and high levels of uric acide) and I'm feeling better that ever. And above that, because I couldn't order junk food anymore, I discovered the joy of cooking :)

[@vamshireddy5471]

any particular foods you avoided or included to tackle the uric acid levels?

[@vamshireddy5471]

any particular foods you avoided or included to tackle the uric acid levels?

[@ManishKumar-uf9tx]

@@vamshireddy5471 Extremely low oil intake (even olives), added sugar, saturation fat, too much salt, dairy, meat. Eat less than half a cup seed, nuts. If you're facing trouble even avoid them. And if possible, make sure to completely avoid all oils, you will get all essential oils from beans, legumes, grains, fruits, vegetables. Take multivitamin without metal supplement for b12.

[@doletawood5061]

I'm so proud of you! Keep up the great work!

[@cesarhernandez3865]

but what about your glucose levels? Ah, I got you there! I bet its high as heck!

Godbless to you Mr. Neal Barnard!...............

[@Cr0wnKings]

logist lahug Wow you were right, I just checked his Wiki page and he was 60 in 2013!!!!

[@andysullivan1120]

We have the most accomplished, distinguished and life saving doctors on our side: Neal Barnard, Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, John McDougall, Joel Fuhrman, Michael Greger, among many others. These animal product based diets are based on books written by completely unqualified people, who, if they have phd's are in completely unrelated fields if they have one at all. These paleo diet gurus sell books, supplements, memberships and use completely outrageous and debunked pseudoscience to support their book selling. All the plant based diet heroes are constantly giving their information and help for free or donating to charities and science. They are trying to help people reverse their deadly diseases while these paleo or whatever new fad diet people are trying to make millions by telling people good things about their bad habits. People love to hear that their morning bacon and eggs is healthy. These paleo and other animal products based diet pushers sure don't look healthy to me.

[@veganmaster]

Hell yeah, High Five! People have no critical thinking skills, and are terrified of straying from the herd. Big picture thinking is extremely rare, and it is what is required to look past the sea of reductionist junk science that scammers use to fleece the gullible public and sell poison and pills. Here is an awesome playlist, just studying these videos will give you more nutrition truth than a room full of drug-dealing doctors will ever know. : kzbin.info/aero/PLzsNjiS0JLDKfk7emsu0p47bLQeXyxSU0

[@francismausley7239]

Love Dr Barnard - a doctor who has morals as well as radical & alternative and true modern thought. “You should certainly safeguard your nerves,.." "Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground..." ~ Baha'i Faith Scripture

[@artjohnson1757]

Dr. Barnard had been a hero of mine for quite a while now, and truly a great speaker and person.

[@mDOTsanei]

this might be the best presentation on health i have ever seen. i am literally showing this to EVERYONE i know and love.

[@rocbola]

Yea, Neal Barnard is awesome. Check out his colleagues Doug Lisle, Alan Goldhamer and Jeff Novick; they have some very informative speeches on here.

[@panda59043]

I've struggled with my weight for my entire life. This information is a huge help.

[@ferrismolina4763]

Dr. Barnard actually starts speaking at like 6:10 for those of you who want to skip the intro.

[@GregRainsMedia]

Dr. Barnard begins at 5:50

[@petmomful2260]

Almost everyone I know refuses to face the truth. My own husband sees the improvements I have made in my health. And yet he smokes, drinks, eats meat, eggs, milk. He is just not going to change. He seems incapable of caring enough about his health to do anything. He will wait until he gets cancer before he decides to do anything. I just don't understand it. It is like he thinks he is a very special mammal, who is exempt from what happens to others. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. I will never understand it. Dr. Bernard is great, and is not afraid to speak the truth.

[@mrking695]

When I starting reading this, I thought it was a comment I had written. lol My husband is the same way. He doesn't smoke but has heart disease and has had cancer but says "nobody can tell me an egg a day ever hurt anybody."

[@ellawrites6614]

Glad you’re taking care of yourself and your health! Unfortunately, you can’t speak for him or control how he eats. As long as he’s aware that his actions are detrimental to his health, the rest is on him. It’s very unfortunate, but unless he wakes up and realizes that things need to change drastically for him, he’ll continue to do what he’s doing until it’s met with consequences.

[@ElizarTringov]

Wow great talk by Dr. Neil Bernard!

[@logistlahug5840]

i love this video i learn a lot that i never got from my doctor........its a eye openner to me.......thanks!...

[@joecool7165]

My name is Dutch I am diabetic I have been on his program almost 2 months it is working I am off my meds and my numbers are lower then when I was on my meds I can't wait for the next two months to be over will probably never eat any type of meat again

[@cesarhernandez3865]

Hey Dutch, its been awhile (three years) since you have been on the Dr. Barnard program, did it work for you?

[@toddrandall473]

with the mounting evidence against eating animal products I don't know why more people aren't making a transition to a plant based diet. humans are strange creatures.

[@jparks6544]

Todd Randall There is no evidence like that.

[@GamerconnectionVSM]

+Todd Randall cause most vegans die very early and look sick. saturated fats are the best thing for your brain. everything is low fat nowadays and obesity and brain diseases are up and going up all the time. We EAT less Fat now and we are WORST so how is fat the problem? LOL. look up coconut oil and alzheimers. MCT is great, cholesterol is great. get your brain going early have some coffee with two big scoops of butter and eat some eggs and bacon.

[@TrustInTheUniverse]

+Todd Randall attachment to beliefs

[@viktorass23]

+Todd Randall They already have brain damage

[@1enoykcul]

mounting evidence by scientists? Medical researchers? All just a bunch of corporate whores metaphorically sucking the corporate funding c**k. Read the book or audiobook called the vegetarian myth and go to the western price foundation website for real information. Corporations want you to be sick and give your money to hospitals. doctors scientists other so called professionals are just puppets for the corporations. BIg business, nwo elites etc puppet masters don't want you to be healthy don't listen to their shills.

[@johndean8393]

Wonderful. Fact based, research based lecture, objective and factual, thank you doctor Barnard.

[@belovingkindness]

Just found this. Thank you!

[@BeeBopGaming]

I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy in 2017 and it is so hard to get enough energy to do much of anything anymore. I’m now going vegan in hopes that I get some good sleep and energy without paying $400 a month for the meds. I’m having a hard time learning what to cook and then having the energy to do it. Gotta do it though.

[@david3tran]

Great Lecture !!!

[@1969yomamma]

Great video, especially liked comments regarding using diet before drugs to solve health issues. Problem is healthcare receives no $ from this approach & is therefore unlikely to be method used. We need more physicians (MD's & DO's) who think/practice what is right instead of getting 'repeat customers' & drug kickbacks by getting more patients on their 'subscription'. How can this problem be remedied in light of ACA?

[@batmandannyb]

I love this guy.

[@stefvanwijk8163]

1:13:05 Unfermented soy products contain also enzyme inhibitors and phytene acid. Phytene acid binds iodine. Iodine is rare in most vegan diets, iodised salt, and that is also used in bread. At least, by Dutch law. I quit soy, felt much better, and started to eat seaweed.

[@Car_Uma]

Excellent and incredibly insightful, consistent with evidence and experience. And those of us who have made the transition FEEL the difference in wellbeing.

[@cesarhernandez3865]

You felt the transition and feel the difference in wellbeing?

[@GoVeganForTheAnimal]

Incredible research. Eat vegan, save yourself, save the planet, save the animals.

[@janettepolt2815]

One word-EXCELLENT!!

[@footnote317]

>>All I know is before I was dx'd as a diabetic I was basically a vegetarian. No meat, cheese or eggs, lots of veggies, pasta, brown rice and quinoa. When I was dx'd in 2007 my HbA1c was 10.00,fasting 240. My cholesterol was 269. Now that I have started eating meat and cheese and eggs and watching carbs my LDL is 98, HDL is 88 and Trigs are 97. My HbA1c is 5.9, fasting 97. I have lost 27 pounds and am now 122 pounds with a normal BMI. I think I have done a lot to extend my life and health. By Barnard's standard I would be on the way to my grave. I think if I had stayed a vegetarian I probably would be a lot worse off. My daughter is a vegan and actually works as a vegan chef and caterer. She is not slim and trim and has works out like crazy and is still overweight. So leading a vegan lifestyle doesn't automatically lead to a healthier life.

[@cesarhernandez3865]

what is dx´d?

[@koolpersonified72]

[@wadepatton2433]

Just a note for anyone who'd like to keep an iron pan going a few hundred more years: My skillets don't rust in the rain, not on the cooking surface. If they did, they'd be useless to me for cooking without proper preparation. That pan needs help in a bad way if anyone was going to use it for cooking. I challenge anyone to show me proof or iron transfer from properly seasoned pan to the food cooked in it. A 1/2 tsp of oil is all that's necessary to keep a properly seasoned iron or steel pan (I use antique steel mostly) functional for nearly oil-free cooking. And that's the only oils I use. WFPB over 3 years now and love the new me-weight loss was effortless, and there's no reason to "go back" (or desire). 50-something years--FINALLY got my eating choices to heal me, not harm me. Lucky I caught it so young eh?.

Does any of this apply for early onset of Alzheimer's?

[@markfrank0924]

Someone mentioned in this post that Dr. Barnard is 60, if that is the case I have to say as I have personally observed if you want to look your best, eat better foods. So many people are looking for ointments, makeup and other topical solutions to improve their appearance when the fact is you are what you eat. Want to change the way you look? Change what you eat. Want to change your mind? Pay attention to what you eat. Want to improve your overall health? Pay attention to what you eat. All roads lead to the same place, it's what you eat.

[@cesarhernandez3865]

No Mark, no, the question is, what is a good nourishment? what should you eat?

[@kristinachung2863]

Good video. Has anyone seen this digital product called Burwan Super Fast Diet Plan? I've been to the landing page but don't know if it's just sales hype. Would someone who has been convinced enough to buy it please share their views? Cheers

[@OrganicGreens]

even the american heart association now says dietary cholesterol doesn't affect blood cholesterol. And now there is a lot of debate surrounding different types of saturated fats. I hate that all these diet doctors all speak with such confidence when there is so many contradictory studies

[@halliboost]

nutrition scientists tend to generalize via statistics, not assuming that you might be eating locally grown food without any industry involved, I think.

[@richardthomas9856]

Another point: in our evolutionary history, we developed cooking, maybe 1.5 million years ago, and this allowed us to process both meat and plants, making them softer and more digestible and influencing the evolutionary enlargement of our brain, our dentition (our teeth are good at munching soft food, so we don't have typical carnivore teeth). So ancestrally we ate both meat and plants (more plants), and it lead to our large brains, among other things. Eating meat in our past evolutionary history does not mean that we can't get all the nutrition we need from plants, and that's our best option now.

[@osrball]

Hello, very interesting, but every time I go vegan with no fat at all I get head aches...no head ache when I add fat but... Do some of you have tried this vegan no fat diet...did you also got head aches ? what were the benefits ? Thanks for answeres...

[@crwnofenlightenment]

I hate no one on here ever responded to you. You are getting headaches because your body is detoxing. When you begin a healthy plant based diet, your body will feel weak at first due to detoxing. You want to be sure to include vitamins such as b12 and vitamin D. You want to make sure you eat nuts as well. Nuts really add to your energy levels. Eat romaine lettuce, spinach and kale. It really helps

[@73jandersen]

Agree with most of Dr Barnard's information. Believe he needs or should look into Virgin Coconut oil a little further, and in so doing, will probably find that unrefined Coconut oil is part of a heart healthy diet, and confers a plethora of health benefits. MCT's are metabolized differently in the body than other fatty acids, and are beneficial to the body. Coconut is one of the few natural sources of Lauric Acid, a powerful anti-microbial, anti-fungal, & anti-viral. One simply needs to look at indigenous populations who, before adopting Western eating habits, enjoyed one of the lowest rates of heart disease when coconut made up a large portion of their diet.

[@edsanville]

[@sandracarli1110]

It all makes sense like also changing one's diet and try to fix diseases with it before trying drugs. Just that B12 deficiency is strange. I guess our bacteria should be much better to be able to avoid B12 a supplement.
